Clinical
This is an over-the-counter inhalation solution containing racepinephrine hydrochloride, a form of epinephrine that is breathed in through the mouth and lungs. Racepinephrine is typically used to temporarily relieve symptoms of croup (a condition causing barking cough and breathing difficulty, mainly in young children) by helping to reduce swelling in the airway. This product is marketed under the FDA's OTC monograph rules for its drug category rather than through individual product approval.
